Read Psalms 66
The Psalms are an amazing place to go and see true praise and worship written to God. I was really convicted Sunday during Jr’s sermon in Shelby because I had allowed my sense of Awe for God to diminish during the last year or so. I sometimes find myself getting too busy in “Ministry”, and I forget to continually stop and refocus my attention to Jesus! In the first few verses of Psalms 66 the writer shows his praise and adoration to God because of how awesome and glorious He is. Verse 1 says to Shout Joyfully, Verse 2 says to sing about his name, and Verse 3 how AWESOME are Your works. This Psalmist was truly in AWE of God and everything He has done; His creation, His grace, and His constant provisions in our daily lives. In verse 5 he transitions to remembering how God has blessed His children throughout history and he praises Him for it.
In verses 5-10 the Psalmist is remembering how God in the past had delivered and provided for His children. Check out Exodus 14 and Joshua 3. These are extreme examples of the lengths God will go to in order to provide for His people.
How has God blessed you and moved in amazing ways in your Life? Write some down and spent some time praising Him for it.
In verses 13-20 we are able to see the writers reaction to God’s blessings and goodness. He states 5 specific things that he is going to do in response to what God has done for him. The examples in verses 13-17 all deal with the persons desire to live a life of true and pleasing worship to God.
How will your life be different now because of the things the Lord has blessed you with? What will you specifically change to show God your appreciation for the blessings in your life?
